Newly hatched gosling beak deformity

[wrenhen]

My first gosling hatched and its beak is deformed. It hatched totally on its own and seems ok, but it’s missing a nostril. I know it’ll take time to tell if it’s going to be ok but has anyone seen something like this before? Did they turn out ok? Anything I should do to help keep it healthy?

Ultimately it’s hard to say if they’ll turn out okay, because there’s a chance there may be internal malformations too, but geese with malformed beaks alone often do just fine.
